Im jealous OP, I've been lookin forward to transformers 2 for ages, would have loved to have seen it already.

@ Darko, Why be such a complete knob, for you meeting famous people and seeing movies before they are released seems to be the norm for you, big feckin deal, who are you to rain on someones parade just because you feel superior. Why bother comenting at all? Was it only to build up your own ego by doing your little name dropping thing there so your internet people can look up to you in awe?

Pretty much every one at some stage or another gets to see a film before the general public, why I could tell you all about the tiem I watched a preview of Grindhouse while sitting ebside Robert Rodriguez or the time I went drinking with Thomas Jane and Josh Lucas and then slept on Jane's hotel floor. Both feets which are substantially more brag worthy than yours.

Lets see, I attended Eli Roth's Halloween party a few years back. I had a drink with lloyd Kaufman, Gillian Anderson kissed my cheek. I drank with Robert Carlyle and James franco. I've met Kiera Knightly who also kissed me.

You want some more boast worthy examples of experiences I have had op?

Lets see. E from the Eels peed on my shoe in urinal one night and after apologising we got talkign for awhile about the gig. he asked me my favourite Eels song and later that night dedicated the song to me. I met James Hetfield and he laughed when I compared Lars to Golllum. My cousin was a writer on friends and is married to a very successful sitcom actress. He has also done uncredited rewrites on films such as Armageddon.I spent time with Terry George and John Maybury discussing film. I once got into an arguement with Zachrey Quinto where I repeatedly insisted that he was the dude from 24, I was quite drunk at the time. I also argued with Adrian Brody over who the most attractive female actress was. Michael Dudikoff called me a true inspiration to any wannabe film maker. I have had long email conversations with Jeff Burr and Robert Kurtzman. Rob Zombie once rang my house to apologise for not being able to do an email interview with me as he had jsut signed on for Hlloween 2.

There's more but I think that will suffice for now.

I saw the gay weather man from TV3 & got all excited.
Not because he's 'famous' but because I recognised him.

Apparently I have been near (as in reach out & touch) Michael Stipes, Angela Lansbury, Larry Mullen & Gerry Adams. I don't think it counts though because I didn't recognise them at the time & even if I did I probably still would have pottered on at what I was doing.

AnonoBoy · 16-06-2009 02:31PM

Why would you brag about having to sit through another Transformers movie? Jaysus!

Best freebie I ever through work was when I got to go censored with also censored from this too is censored. Possibly the greatest deleted and erased of my entire life.

Ah did I hurt the little babies feelings. I did exaclty as the op asked and mentioned some of the "best quirk, freebie or bonus that you've gotten through/from your job??"

If it upset him and you well the you can always cheer the op up by offering oral favours to one another.
